LSU fans officially own the Rocco’s Jello Shot Challenge record. Before the Tigers’ 2nd game of the College World Series, LSU passed last year’s mark of 18,777 set by Ole Miss fans during the Rebels’ national championship run.
Todd Graves of Raising Cane’s purchased 6,000 of the $5 shots to put LSU over 21,000. It’s also a Guinness World Record for shots purchased by 1 person and already a new overall total for Rocco’s Pizza and Cantina with 6 teams remaining in the CWS.
Records are meant to be broken!

Rocco’s made the announcement just under an hour before first pitch of the LSU-Wake Forest winners’ bracket (7 p.m. ET, ESPN). An electric atmosphere was already expected for the only 2 teams that have been ranked No. 1 in 2023. Now, we know to expect a little extra juice from the LSU contingent.
A portion of the shot sales is donated to charity, per owner Kevin Culjat.
